These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-10-06,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe, and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2014-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 4, Round 9 - Canadiana History - Toronto's WW1 Connection
Hogtown had its part to play in the War to End All Wars. On its
100th anniversary, here's a round on Toronto's role.
1. This U of T medical school graduate was with the #2 Field
Ambulance Corps at Ypres in 1915 when he took shrapnel to the
leg and was sent home. He later would famously tend the wounded
in Spain and China. Who he?
2. Another U of T medical grad, Maj. L.B. Robertson, likely saved
thousands of lives by introducing this procedure to British
military hospitals during the War. What procedure?
3. On October 17, 1917 -- four months after his last foray against
the Germans -- which war hero married Timothy Eaton's
granddaughter at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church?
4. This soon-to-be-famous young American came to Toronto in 1917
to work as a volunteer nurse. Her life was changed when she
saw her first air show. Name her.
5. The most famous of their kind during WW1, who or what were
the Dumbbells?
6. One prominent Toronto family was hard hit by WW1, with George
Ryerson killed and his brother Arthur wounded in the battle of
Ypres. Their mother Mary died in the sinking of the Lusitania,
en route to viewing her son's body. Name their famous forebear,
the father of public education in Ontario. First name required.
7. A dubious Toronto landmark during the Great War was the Stanley
Barracks, adjacent to the CNE grounds. What was it used for?
8. With its working-class immigrant population, Toronto's
then-suburb of Earlscourt was deemed to have lost more young
men per capita than any municipality in Canada. Name *any one*
of the major streets that meet in or define the borders of the
former Earlscourt.
9. Max Aitken, a Canadian millionaire living in London, was given
the title of "official eyewitness" to the War -- i.e. its
official photographer and painter -- by the government of Canada.
By what noble name is Max Aitken better known?
10. In 2007, genealogical records verified the identity of George
Sorblum, a WW1 veteran buried in 1919 at Holy Blossom Cemetery on
Pape Av. But how is he identified on his headstone, a reference
to his then-uncertain identity?
* Game 4, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Clergy Appreciation Month
Yes, October is Clergy Appreciation Month, according to
hallmark.com. Hug a priest, rabbi, or imam today.
A. Science
A1. When he passed away in 1884, he was eulogized as "a puttering
monk with a skill for breeding plants". But this Augustinian
friar is now known as the father of modern genetics.
Who was he?
A2. In 1503 he was granted a sinecure at the Collegiate Church
of the Holy Cross in Wroclaw, Silesia, Bohemia; in 1508
he received a papal indult. But later his heliocentric
theories would be condemned by both the Catholic Church and
Martin Luther. Name that canonical scholar and astronomer.
B. History
B1. Henry II is often quoted as saying, circa 1170, "Will no one
rid me of this turbulent priest?" Sure enough, someone did.
But who was that priest?
B2. This Southern Baptist minister, now 95 years old, was
considered the Pastor to the Presidents, although he opposed
the candidacy of John F. Kennedy because of Kennedy's
Catholicism. He famously counseled Richard Nixon during
Watergate. Name that politically connected preacher.
C. Literature
C1. The Anglican deacon Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-98)
is bast known by the pseudonym he used while writing what
are now classic works of children's literature. Give that
pen name.
C2. From 1939 to 1949, this twentysomething Polish playwright
wrote the plays "Job", "David", and "Our God's Brother",
before changing his career path. Name that playwright who
had a much more storied career as the Vicar of Christ.
D. Geography
D1. Brigham Young University, named for the man the Mormons call
"the American Moses", is in what city?
D2. In the 1600s, Jesuit Father Jacques Marquette joined Louis
Joliet, to become the first non-natives to map one of North
America's primary waterways. Which one?
E. Entertainment
E1. Which Presbyterian minister was an American educator who
created a PBS children's series that ran for 33 years?
Can you answer this question? I know you could.
E2. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is the author of more than 30 books,
including "Kosher Sex". But he's most famous as the
spiritual advisor to a tragic musical celebrity. Which one?
F. Canadiana
F1. Name the Canadian evangelical talk show hosted by David
Mainse that became the flagship program of the
Christian-themed Crossroads Television System.
F2. In 2004 this late Baptist minister was named the greatest
Canadian of all time in a national viewer survey by CBC.
Name him.
